Please help identify my Chinese Cash!

I've had these for years with no clue as to the monarch, dynasty, date, etc. Any help would be infinitely appreciated! Thanks!

  • 1 Ren Zong, Jia Qing Tong Bao. Board of Works mint, looks like H# 22.489 1810-1815
    2 Gao Zong, Qian Long Tong Bao. Board of Revenue mint, H# 22.21x 1768-1773
    3 Japan, 1 Mon, Edo mint. 1668?
  • Thank you! I assume they are all fairly common, right?

    Numbers 1 and 2 should be rotated 90 degrees to the right in the first image.
  • Thanks again. What is the standard reference for these and the denomination/dynasty of the two Chinese coins?

    I just sold several similar pieces on Ebay for $2 each. Bidding started at $0.01 and bidding was fearsome.
  • The Chinese pieces are 1 Cash, Qing Dynasty.
